VOL. 28 NO 53 OUR SUPERINTENDANT PROFESSOR ROSCOE CONKLING BRUCE SPEAKS - HIS SCHOLARLY ADDRESS TO THE GRADUATES. (Extracts from commencement address delivered by Roscoe Conkling Bruce, Assistant Superintendent of Public Schools. Washington, D. C., to the graduates of Avery College, Pittsburg, Pa., Tuesday, May 26.) Here and there, particularly in private institutions like Spelman Seminary and Hampton Institute and the universities like Atlanta and Fisk and Shaw, white teachers — most from the North, but some from the South—of the finest culture and the noblest devotion, will always, I pray and believe, continue to teach Negro youth in the heart of the South. For this service the Negro people will always feel as they have always felt—profoundly grateful. But, schools—industrial and normal, elementary and secondary, great and small — even colleges and professional schools,such separate institutions for Negro students will more and more seek teachers and executive officers in men and women of Negro blood. In point of fact the teachers of Negroes are today in the vast majority of cases black, and neither South nor North questions for a moment the competence of black men and women for such service or the wholesome effects of such an arrangement upon the spirit and attitude of the students and upon the whole present social situation. The quickening of Negro life must cone more and more from within, the uplifting forces will be more and more in the hands of Negroes. Now, the fundamental problem of any school is not land and buildings, but personnel — the personnel of the teaching body. It is a grievous error to suppose that a good heart and some ability to read and write adequately equip a teacher of the common branches; or that sobriety and some skill with saw and plane and hammer make a teacher of carpentry. One of the most serious problems which a great institution like Tuskegee, for example, has to face, is the dearth of men and women of liberal education, specific training in teaching, and professional spirit and ideals. Negro public schools are everywhere gravely embarrassed by lack of principals and teachers with a sound and thorough education. This issue is now upon us; the demand for well-equipped Negro teachers for all classes of Negro schools is at this moment very far in excess of the supply. The black teacher of the best education and the best training is never out of a job; the field of his influence and service is almost limitless. The Negro college in the South should admit students who have never studied Latin or Greek, and should enrich its curriculum by the addition of thorough courses in natural science with its applications of trade and industry; in history and social science with special attention to the traditions and history and progress of Negro peoples in Africa and in America, and to the sociological problems in which Negro life in America is enmeshed today. The Negro college should render its curriculum flexible and more widely serviceable through the introduction of an elective system by whose provisions the dead languages might give way to the living languages and history and social science, and pure mathematics to psycholoy and ethics and the principles and practice of education. And finally the Negro university should organize well equipped schools of education, of engineering, of agriculture alongside the schools of medicine. Some of these reforms have already been compassed or are in progress, I am glad to say, in the best Negro colleges and universities of the South. PHILADELPHIA A. M. E. ZION CONFERENCE. Philadelphia, May 18, 1908. With optimistic and inspiring words Booker T. Washington addressed the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Conference on Thursday evening at Wesley Church, five hundred people being turned away for want of room. He chose for his theme "The Unity of the Colored Race." He was introduced by the Hon. J. C. Dancy, who said that "the great purpose in the life of the great Negro leader and educator was to prove that the Negro race could make men." Dr. Washington was greeted with continuous applause. In part, he said: "There are certain essential and important points upon which as a race we ought to and must unite. One of these points is the idea that we are to remain in this country and to be permanently classed as American citizens. We can also unite upon the proposition that it is only by constructive efforts, such as your great Church has shown, that we shall build ourselves up as a race. We can unite again upon the idea that we have a great opportunity in this country to enter into business, to become commercial factors; and in these respects the Negro minister must in a large degree be the leader and the guide. In respect to material and business betterment, the Negro minister, unlike the white minister, must teach the people, because many of the material and commercial considerations that now confront the Negro have been settled centuries ago by the white man himself; hence it is important that the Negro minister perform a broader and more varied service than is true of the white minister. In our Southern country, especially, does the Negro have an opportunity to sell his labor in whatever market he choses, and he has a rare opportunity to succeed in commercial and business enterprises." In emhpasizing the importance of education for the Negro, Dr. Washington said he had been privileged to raise by his own efforts three hundred and fifty thousand dollars for this work during the past year. Friday afternoon there was a heated contest for the three vacant bishopries, and upon the second ballot the following candidates were chosen: Dr. M. R. Franklin receiving 276 votes, Dr. G. L. Blackwell 265 votes, and Dr. A. J. Warner 229 votes. A two-thirds vote being necessary to a choice — which was 214 votes. After the election a committee completed the raising of a fund of twenty-five hundred dollars, which will be used as first payment upon the Varack Chapel, corner of Nineteenth and Lombard streets, which was opened for the first time on Sunday. Rev. E. C. Simns, a delegate from Florida, died suddenly from heart disease; a sum of one hundred dollars was raised by Conference for his funeral, and a Florida delegate was sent to accompany the remains home. Saturday morning fraternal greetings were presented from the Methodist Episcopal Church by Rev. T. J. Moffin, and responded to by Rev. G. C. Clement. Reports were also received from the educational institutes of the Church, Dr. W. H. Goler speaking for Livingston College; Prof. T. C. Brown for Greenville, Tenn., High Schol, and Revi M. L. Lee for Lancaster, S. C., High School. Dr. A. E. Raggs, of Atlanta, Ga., made an interesting report of the Bible Society. Suday, Bishop Alexander Walter preached the morning sermon at Wesley Ch., his subject being the "Civic Progress that Has Been Made by the Negro." In the afternoon all of the ten bishops helped to dedicate the newly purchased edifice at Nineteenth and Lombard streets, which will hereafter be known as Varack Chapel. The purchase price was thirteen thousand five hundred dollars. Bishop Alexander Walters, of the Fourth Episcopal District, presided over today's session, which was devoted to reports from various committees and the presentation of resolutions for the consideration of other committees. Philadelphia, May 21, 1908. The committee of the GeneralConference submitted its report to that body now in session this morning. The report divides the Church territory into ten episcopal districts, and makes assignments of the bishops, who are to preside of the conferences for the next four years. Philadelphia Conference is put into a new district, with Virginia, South Florida and Cuba, and has a new presid- WASHINGTON WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY MAY 3 J. Bradley of Biddeford Benjamin P. Birdshall The report on education was made by Prof. S. G. Atkins, the educational secretary, and under his recommendations a General Educational Board is provided for, which is to be composed of all the bishops of the Church and certain designated persons, who are to have supervision of all the schools of the denomination. Under the new regime the assistant secretaryship of education is abolished. There were offered during yesterday many resolutions dealing with the many things of the various Church departments and reports from committees were received. Today is to be the final day of the Conference, and the next General Conference will be held at Charlotte, N. C. Last evening memorial services were held in honor of James Varack, the first bishop of the Church, and for Bishops I. C. Clinton and J. B. Small, and Mrs. C. C. Pitney, wife of the late Bishop Pittey IRA T. BRYANT WINS OUT. The journalistic and printing office fraternity of the Capital are delighted over the triumphant election of Mr. Ira T. Bryant as secretary of the A. M. E. Sunday School Union. The great Methodist publishing plant at Nashville will take on new life under the management of Mr. Bryant, who, though a young man, is a veteran in the business that is now to be entrusted to his energetic hands. Mr. Bryant made a gallant fight, and against tremendous odds, and eminently deserved his victory. RDAY MAY 30, 1908. DR. WASHINGTON'S APPEAL May 18, 1908. My dear Sir: December 2, 1909. a little more than a year from now, will mark the half-century since John Brown, of Ossawatomie, died at Harper's Ferry. The Negro people of this country revere the name of John Brown. His death marked a date in their history. Perhaps no other man of the white race ever identified himself so fully with our race and cause. Others were wiser; others accoomplished more; but the name of no one has impressed itsel deeper on he hearts and minds of the masses of our people. It has been proposed that Negroes all over the United States should unite next year to commemorate in some fitting way the day of John Brown's death. In a letter* dated J. January 27 of this year, Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard, as editor of the New York Evening Post, and a grandson of William Lloyd Garrison, writes, referring to this matter: "In reply to your note in regard to the proposed John Brown celebration, it seems to me that that should be made the occasion of a national celebration by the colored people of this country. The motto of that would be John A. Andrew's famous sentence: 'Whatever one may think of John Brown's methods, John Brown himself was right.' The reasons for making it a noteworthy event are three-fold in my mind: 1. To show the gratitude of the colored people for John Brown's self-sacrifice; 2. To take this opportunity to remind the country as whole how vastly better off, with all his handicaps, the Negro is today than he was in John Brown's time, and to measure again the progress upward of the race; 3. To increase the solidarity of the colored people." I am taking the liberty of calling attention thus early to this date in order that the subject may be given the fullest and freest discussion, so that it may be possible to arrange for memorial exercises worthy of the event. LONG ON "CLAIMS," SHORT ON FACTS. Notwithstanding the frenzied warning sent out by the local bureau of the "reactionaries," the live newspapers of the race continue to publish the news touching the nomination of Secretary Taft. Genuine journalists do not distort or ignore cold facts in an attempt to bolster up a losing cause. Mr. Randolph can go to Mississippi at once and try the law, as he is a sorry imitation of the real thing as a political prophet in this "neck-o'-the-woods." He is tremendously long on "claims," but woefully short on facts. THE "TUSKEGEE WIZARD'S" GENEROSITY. Dr. Booker T. Washington passed through the city last week en route 4. to Philadelphia, where he addressed an overflowing audience in connection with the General Conference of the A. M. E. Zion Church. He then proceeded to Norfolk, where he spoke in the monster skating ring, as no church large enough to accommodate the crowds could be secured. Ine $500 taken at the door in Philadelphia was presented to the Zion Conference as his contribution to the noble cause, and at Norfolk a larger sum was similarly donated. Hampton Institute, his alma mater, where he delivered an inspiring speech last Saturday, was made happy by the proceeds there realized. Dr. Washington has been the means of placing more cash money in the hands of the various denominations and educational institutions than any other Negro in the world. This is really constructive leadership. PROF. H. M. BROWN'S, ADVICE Cheyney, Pa., May 6, 1908. Miss E. A. Chase. Washington, D. C. My dear Miss Chase: I have just read the enclosed clipping from the Star, giving an account of the effort of the parents of the Jones School to discourage bad behavior of our people in the streets and elsewhere. I want, first, to congratulate you and thank you; second, to call your attention to the following advice given by Rabbi Krauskopf to the Jews: "We have too many in our race who think that money covers every shortcoming of social polish and force themselves into places and circles frequented by the best of the land, where their lack o refinement, their loudness and showiness, their vulgarity and their desecration of the sanctity of Sunday, are extremely offensive to the other guests and force upon themselves the alternative of staying away or obliging the Jew to be kept away." This assertion was made by Rabbi Joseph Kranskopf yesterday in delivering the last of his sermons on "Prejudice: Its Genesis and Exodus and Its Cure, on the Part of the Jew," in the Temple Keseseth Israel, Broad street above Columbia avenue. Continuipg, he said: "It is not a very difficult matter for the hotelkeeper to decide to whom of the two to cater. He finds it easier to bar all Jews than to subject all to the examination as to their standing in culture and fitness to associate with the best on equal terms of refinement. "When refused, they ascribe it to prejudice. But to people of culture, refinement in those with whom they associate is as necessary as the air they breathe. Good manners is not such a trivial matter as some moneyed people seem to think. Let them try to acquire culture, and they will find that the acquisition of it is harder than that of money, and they will respect it more." Mr. Krauskopf declared, however, in conclusion, that "what is regarded as mere social breach or an eccentricity when committed by one of the 'Four. Hundred' is considered an unpardonable sin when committed by one of us." It is quite gratifying to read in your last issue that under the present school officials the longer existence of petty kingdoms of favoritism in the special departments is at an end, particularly in that of domestic science, where it has been rampant. INQUIRY. Is it true that with all the unrest and strain in the schools that some of our colored supervisors are arranging to give tests during the extremely warm days of June to again stir up the feelings of the overworked teached by their unfairness?

The eight new bishops elected at the Methodist Episcopal Conference in Baltimore are considered to rank among the foremost divines of this age. Mrs. John A. Logan was energetic in bringing about the election, as a bishop, of her pastor, Dr. Frank M. Bristol, who is stationed at the Metropolitan M. E. Church. The fire in the music store of E. F. Droop & Sons Company last Wednesday morning did damage to the amount of $40,000. A noticeable feature in the deaths which occurred the past week is that many of the oldest residents have paid the final claim. It is reported that prohibition scored a victory last Tuesday at the election in North Carolina by a majority vote of 40,000.

FOR PURE VANILLA SECURE BEAN AND MAKE FLA- VORING AT HOME. Dessert Requisite In No Way Hard to Prepare and Housewife May Rest Awarded She Has the Gift Vanilla pods, or beans, as they are popularly called, as found in the shops, look like dark brown, narrow, flexible strips, from three to eight inches in length, flattened and hooked at the stem end. The surface is furrowed lengthwise during the process of curing, and is often covered with tiny crystals. Within are innumerable minute, shining, bead-like black seeds, imbedded in an aromatic sticky pulp. Much of the commercial extract is adulterated with the Tonka bean, which belongs to the same family, but is not nearly so delicate. The cheapest "bargain" extracts are made entirely from the Tonka bean. It has been said that in most cases where poisoning has taken place after eating ice cream, cheap vanilla has been the flavor employed. Where the pure article is prepared at home there is never any danger. The vanilla plant is an orchid and the only one whose fruit has a commercial value. Another way of preparing the flavoring is to split four beans and clip in bits with scissors. Put seeds, husks and all into a bottle, pour over them one pint of brandy or whisky, cork tightly, shaking frequently for the first four or five weeks. Vanilla Sugar for Flavoring.—Another excellent way to utilize the pods for flavoring is this: Cut one ounce of the Mexican vanilla beans into very small pieces, using shears, or a knife. Add one ounce grain alcohol, macerate for 30 minutes, then add two ounces sugar of milk. Break up seven ounces rock candy crystals with a hammer, first wrapping a cloth around it, and add to the other ingredients. Add also two pounds powdered sugar. When thoroughly mixed put into a well-stopped bottle. This is unequaled for purity and flavor. Lemon Extract.—Before cutting the lemons to extract the juice, scrub well, rinse and wipe with a soft cloth. Then grate off all the delicate yellow skin, taking care that none of the white part of the rind goes in, as this will give a bitter taste. Pack a small bottle full of these yellow shavings, cover with pure grain alcohol and set away for three weeks. At the end of that time strain and bottle. Lemon Sugar.—Place the grated yellow rind of lemons in a wide-mouthed bottle and cover thickly with granulated sugar. Keep the bottle tightly corked. The sugar becomes saturated with the oil from the peel and when used imparts a delicious flavor. Almond Surprise. Dissolve one package of raspberry gelatin and half a pint of granulated sugar in one and a half pints of boiling raspberry juice from canned fruit, as this imparts a better flavor; strain it, then stand away to cool. When it is slightly stiff stir into it half a pound of ground or rolled chocolate almond; put it in the refrigerator, and when perfectly firm serve ice cold turned out upon a glass dish, or in individual glass punch glasses, with one tablespoonful of whipped cream on top of each cup. It is well to prepare all dishes where gelatin is used the day before they are required, thus giving them ample time to stiffen, and avoiding anxiety on the part of the cook. Bud Salad. Boll as many eggs as you have people to serve. Boll hard, peel, and put into cold water. Shave small new cabbage into mere strings. Arrange cabbage about one inch thick in each salad dish. With a darning needle and a heavy white linen thread draw through the egg. Hold the egg lengthwise. Cut into hive strips from the top of the egg half way to the bottom. Be careful not to scar the yellow. Loop back the white part so as to let half of the yellow stand alone. Remove thread. Season to taste and serve with French dressing. Cold Tomato Sauce Peel and chop fine half peck of tomatoes. Drain through colander. Chop fine two large stalks of celery, two large red peppers, half cup of chopped onions, half cup grated horseradish, one cup of dark and yellow mustard seeds mixed, one cup of brown sugar, half cup salt, one teaspoonful each of ground cinnamon, mace, cloves, and black pepper, two teaspoonfuls of alspice, and one quart of the best cider vinegar. Mix well together; put in two quart glass jars and seal. It needs no cooking and will keep for a year. Cornish Turnover Equal quantities of boiled rice and breederumbs, one finely-chopped onion and a small quantity of parsley and thyme; mix into a paste with two beaten eggs. Make a light pastry, cut into small circles and make into turnovers, filling them with the mixture, about half a tablespoonful to a turnover. Brush over with white of egg and bake in a quick oven. Egg and Beet Salad Slice and peel several well-cooked beets and lay into a pan with two tablespoonfuls of olive oil. Let the beets stew in the oil until hot. Lay the beets in the center of a hot dish and around the edges place poached eggs. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper and squeeze the juice of a lemon over the whole. TO GET BEST RESULTS. Two Approved Methods for the Cooking of Sweetbreads. The Housekeeper presents two recipes for cooking sweetbreads. In the first they are stewed white and in the second they are stewed brown. Ingredients—Two sweetbreads, one pint of veal broth, seasonings, one ounce of flour, one ounce of butter, two yolks of eggs, one-sixteenth pint cream. Method—Soak and prepare the sweetbreads as in the second recipe, stewing them for an hour in veal broth with a seasoning of mace, white pepper, salt and a very small slice of onion. Press them till cold, trim them and strain into a bowl. Melt the butter in a stewpan, stir the flour into it and let it cook without browning. Add the strained veal broth and stir till well bolled, then remove from the fire and beat in the yolk of two eggs or some cream. Let the sweetbreads warm in this without boiling, then dish them and serve, garnished with slices of lemon and sprigs of parsley. Ingredients — Two sweetbreads, three-quarters of a pint of brown sauce and tomatoes. Method—Soak two sweetbreads in warm, salted water for an hour. Put on stove in cold water, and bring to boiling point. Take out sweetbreads and rinse. Put on again in fresh water or white stock, and allow to simmer gently for an hour. Drain and press sweetbreads between two plates with weight upon top of them. Trim neatly and cut into thick slices. Put the sweetbreads into a stewpan with three-quarters of a pint of rich brown sauce, and let them get quite hot. In the meanwhile pour boiling water over some tomatoes, skin them and place them in a buttered tin with buttered paper over. Bake tjll tender but unbroken. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. Hot sunshine will remove scorch. Hot tartaric acid will take ink stains out of white cloth. A package or envelope sealed with white of egg cannot be steamed open. Even delicate glass can be safely washed in very hot water if slipped in edgewise. Insects like neither salt nor alum and enough adheres to the carpet to keep them away. Saturate grass stains on children's pinafores, etc., in paraffin and then put into the washtub. Burning oil is spread by water. To extinguish it throw down flour, sand or earth. The idea is to prevent the oil from spreading. Starch should be mixed with soapy water, for thus the linen will have a more glossy appearance and be less likely to stick to the iron. Clotheslines and pegs will last much longer if they are bolled for ten minutes when new. It is a good plan to repeat the boiling occasionally. It is not generally known, but to prevent cakes from burning place a little bran at the bottom of the tins. This will save a lot of grumbling and vexation. Italian Cakes. Half a cup of butter, warmed but hot melted, and the same quantity of sugar, beaten to a cream. Add one by one, beating continuously, four eggs, whites and yolks. At the last beat in very hard half a cup of pastry flour. Pour this mixture to the depth of half an inch in a shallow buttered tin and bake in a moderately quick oven for 10 or 15 minutes. Turn upside down to cool; spread thickly with a firm jam or jelly, preferably strawberry or raspberry, and then overlay this with stiff chocolate icing. When firm, cut into odd shapes, squares, discs, diamonds, triangles, etc. Rag Carpet Without Sewing. Tear rags about an inch wide, cut a buttonhole in each end, lay one strip on the other so that one hole is over the other, take the end of the lower one and draw it through the hole of the upper one tightly, and it will look as if sewed. Now take a large crochet hook and crochet as if making a common round tidy. You can make it as large as you want and quickly, can be washed in a tub, and with care will last a lifetime. Lyman Salad. Select long green peppers, cut in halves lengthwise, remove the seeds, and fill with grape-fruit pulp, celery and apple finely cut, and pecan nut meats broken in pieces, using half as much each of celery and apple as of grape fruit, and allowing three nut meats to each case. Arrange on lettuce leaves and garnish with mayonnaise 'dressing.* To Pack China. When moving, a new way to pack china that is valuable as well as delicate is to wrap each piece carefully in paraffine paper and slink it in the flour barrel. A delicate piece of Wedgewood china and a piece of valuable statuary were packed in this way, and neither piece was injured. Of course, the flour barrel must be reasonably full of flour. To Prevent Moths To keep moths out of upholstered furniture, sprinkle well with benzine. It will not spot or stain the most delicate colors, and the unpleasant odor soon passes away in the air. When it is known that the moth miller has entered a closet, burn a tablespoonful of gum camphor in the room, closing the door and letting the clothes remain in the fumes. When Burning Rubbish. When burning vegetable refuse, old papers and rubbish in the stove or furnace, throw a handful of salt in the fire and there will be no unpleasant and disagreeable odor. SOME GOOD DISHES METHODS OF COOKING AND SERVING MEATS. Colorado Reast Venison Something New to the Average Housewife —Veal Eldes on Appetizing Addition to Menu. Lamb Scallops.—One cup cold lamb, one cup stewed tomatoes, one cup bread crumbs. Arrange in layers in a buttered dish, having crumbs on top with bits of butter; put salt, pepper, and bits of butter between the layers; bake. Beef Loaf.—Chop or grind together two pounds of the round of beef and one-half pound bacon, crumb one-half loaf of bread, and beat two eggs. Mix the meat, bread and eggs together and season with one teaspoon salt, one-half teaspoon pepper, teaspoon poultry dressing. Pack firmly in a baking dish and bake 1/2 hours. Colorado Roast Venison. —Cover the venison roast on all sides with white paper; secure firmly with cord. Then make a thick batter of flour and water; spreading same all over the paper; dredge with flour; bake 25 minutes to a pound; take from the oven and crack off the batter, which has formed a crust. Remove the cord and paper, salt and pepper to taste, lay strips of.fat pork cut thin on top, and dredge meat with flour. Place-in oven until well browned; make brown gravy and serve with curant jelly. Many who dislike game enjoy it if prepared thus, the cooking of the game in this way extracting the strong taste sometimes objectionable. Veal Birds.—Use slices of veal from the loin cut thin. Remove the bone, skin and fat and pound till one quarter of an inch thick. Trim with pieces 2½ by four inches. Chop the trimming fine, with one square inch of fat salt pork for each bird. Add half as much fine cracker crumbs as you have meat. Season highly with salt, pepper, lemon, cayenne and onion. Molsten with one egg and a little hot water as for veal loaf. Spread the mixture on each slice nearly to the edge, roll up tightly, and tie or fasten with skewers. Dredge with salt, pepper and flour. Fry them slowly in hot butter till a golden brown, but not dark or burned. Then half cover with cream and simmer 15 or 20 minutes. Remove the strings and serve on toast. Pour the cream over them. Garnish with points of toast and lemon. Florentine Loaf. The Housekeeper considers a Florentine loaf a dessert worth trying. Take one pint of orange juice, the juice of one lemon and add to this one pint of sugar; stir until the sugar dissolves, then boil for ten minutes and turn into a quart brick mold and cool. Season one pint double cream with one teaspoonful of grated orange and lemon peel mixed, add half a cupful of pulverized sugar. Whip until thick and then pour into the brick mold; cover with buttered paper, butter side up, and large enough to come over the edge when the cover is placed on. Tie down securely and bury in crushed ice and salt for three hours; when ready to cut into slices, wipe off the mold, remove paper, run a warm cloth over the sides and bottom, invert the mold onto the dish. To Clean Silk Gloves Washing silk gloves rots them rapidly, especially at the finger ends, yet nothing is less excusable than soiled white or other light silk gloves, because it is so easy to wash them. To prevent this rapid destruction of the finger ends the gloves should be hung to dry with the tips up. This can be accomplished only by pinning each finger out on a cloth and then hanging up the cloth with the arms of the gloves down. This lets water run into the portions of the gloves which receive the least wear, dries the tips more quickly and prevents the destructive action of water on the silk.—Dellineator. Chicken In Green Basket Chicken in green Pepper Cases. Cut three large sweet green peppers in halves from stem end down, remove the stem and seeds and scald five minutes. Mix one cupful of minced cooked meat, either veal or chicken, one fourth cupful of bread crumbs or boiled rice, with enough white or tomato sauce to molsten. Season and pack the mixture in the pepper cases. Sprinkle buttered cracker crumbs over the top, lay the peppers in a shallow pan with water to cover the bottom, and bake about 20 minutes. A garnish of the tops of celery makes an attractive setting for the green pepper cases. Fruit Wafers. Mix three cups of graham or whole wheat flour with a cup of cold sour cream; add half a teaspoonful of salt and knead well. Divide in two parts and roll one thin; on this spread a layer of chopped figs and lay on the other layer; press the two together with the rolling pin, cut in squares and bake quickly. Instead of figs you can use dates, or dates and figs chopped together, or figs and nuts. Or stewed and stoned prunes may be used alone or with the figs. Sliced Beef Relish. Take two pounds of raw, tender beefsteak, chop it very fine, put into it salt, pepper and a little sage, two tablespoons of melted butter. Add two rolled crackers, made very fine, also two well-beaten eggs. Make it up into the shape of a roll and bake it. Baste with butter and water before baking. Cut in slices when cold. New Recipe Recommended by Fannie Merritt Farmer. "A stuffed tomato salad is one of my new recipes," writes Fannie Merritt Farmer, the great cooking authority, in her monthly page in the Woman's Home Companion. "Peel six small tomatoes, cut a slice from the stem end of each, remove the soft inside, sprinkle the insides with salt and let stand, inverted, 30 minutes. Mash half a tencent cream cheese, add six chopped pimolas, one tablespoonful of finely chopped parsley, one tablespoonful of tomato pulp, one-fourth o a teaspoonful of dry mustard and enough French dressing to molsten. Fill the tomato cases with the mixture, and serve on lettuce leaves with mayonnaise dressing, which may be successfully made if one will but follow directions. Mix one teaspoonful of mustard, one teaspoonful of salt, one teaspoonful of powdered sugar and a few grains of cayenne. Add the yolks of two eggs, and stir until thoroughly blended; then add one-half teaspoonful of vinegar. Add olive oil gradually at first, drop by drop, and stir constantly. As the mixture thickens, thin with vinegar or lemon juice. Add oil and vinegar or lemon juice alternately, stirring or beating constantly, until two tablespoonfuls each of vinegar and lemon juice and $1\frac{1}{2}$ cupfuls of olive oil have been used. If the oil is added too rapidly the dressing will have a curdled appearance. A smooth consistency may be restored by taking the yolk of another egg and adding the curdled mixture slowly to it. Olive oil for the making of mayonnaise should always be thoroughly chilled. The utensil used in the making of mayonnaise may be a silver fork, wire whisk, small wooden spoon or Dover egg beater. THE REAL PEACH COBBLER. One of the Most Palatable of All Forms of Dessert. Every cook can make peach cobbler, but it is down south that this palatable dessert approaches perfection. Here is a recipe which is guaranteed to produce a delicious result: Select the richest and ripest fruit, usually some variety of the yellow peach, because of its superior richness. Butter a deep earthenware pudding dish at least three and one-half inches deep. Line the side with good pastry, then fill the dish with peeled peaches torn in halves instead of cutting. Leave in enough pits to impart flavor. Sweeten abundantly, then cover with a rich layer of crust, sealing down so that none of the juices may escape. Bake in a hot oven about three-quarters of an hour, covering with paper if there is any danger of it browning too rapidly. When nearly done draw to the oven door, dredge over with powdered sugar and set back to glaze. A real old-fashioned cook is a stickler for a few spoonfuls of brandy poured over the peaches before the top crust is put on, but the majority of folk find it quite delectable enough without any spiritual additions. Washing Delicate Embroiderie Washing Delicate Embroideries. Make a good lather with soap and warm water, adding one-fourth of a teaspoonful of powdered borax to each quart of water. Place the articles in an ordinary glass fruit jar, then nearly fill the jar with the lather. Seal tightly, shake the jar a little, and place it in bright sunlight for 24 hours. Of course, if the weather is cloudy, the time should be allowed for. Turn the jar around occasionally, so that the sun may penetrate every part. When the time is up, pour off the lather, press the fabric gently, then rinse several times in clear, soft water. Return it to the jar with more clear water, set it again in the sun, changing the water daily, until the material is white.

Hot Water Sponge Cake Work together $1 \frac{1}{4}$ cupfuls or granulated sugar, or $1 \frac{1}{4}$ cupfuls of powdered sugar, with the yellows of four eggs well beaten Whip separately the whites of four eggs until they are light and fluffy as snow, and add them to the yellows and sugar. Take $1 \frac{1}{2}$ cups of flour through which two small teaspoonfuls of baking powder has been thoroughly mixed and stir in briskly with the above. Put a pinch of salt into four tablespoons of boiling water and add to this mixture. Grate lightly the outer yellow part of the rind of one-half lemon, and add for flavoring. Bake in a moderately hot oven in a cake tin which has a hollow cylinder. Sardine Salad. A quickly prepared, tasty salad may be made with sardines as a foundation. Arrange crisp leaves of lettuce on individual plates, put two of the fish on each, sprinkle them with lemon juice and turn over them a spoonful of mayonnaise. Garnish with cold-bolled beets and serve with cream and cheese balls. To Clean a Bean Pot Instead of scraping and scouring an earthen pot in which beans have been baked, put in one teaspoonful of baking soda and fill up with cold water. Cover well, so it can team off all the black that adheres to the edges of the pot. Leave in the oven two hours or more. Your bean pot will cleanse as if by magic. Warm Raisins and Currants.

First Airship Smashed by Vibrations, He Is Busy Constructing Another—Says Principle Was Used by the Ancients. Detroit.—Dr. Orville W. Owen is experiencing the troubled life of an inventor. Years ago he got an idea. Months ago he was on the point of realizing it. To-day he is mournfully watching the repeated deferment of the hour when the idea will be embodied in practical form. Owen is the man who believes he can make a noise like a top and fly to the uttermost parts of the world. Flying is nothing but apolied harmony, according to his theory, and if he can produce the correct tones he can go anywhere and do most anything. The vibratory theory is his pet hobby just now. He knows all the old school book stories about the effect of vibrations, and a lot more that have been printed in books that few people read. The phenomenon that a bridge can be thrown down by sounding the proper note on a violin is mere kindergarten talk to Owen. He tells you that Joshua threw down the walls of Jericho that way, when he ordered the blast from the rams' horns, followed by a mighty shout. Also the doctor is sure that this same vibratory theory was put to practical use by the ancients. The pyramids were built in this way, he says, and the sphinx was moved into its present position by the same agency "The Moabite stone tells of an 'ariel' which the Israelites possessed," says the doctor, "and which gave them victories until the Assyrians took it away from them. The ariel was a flying machine, worked by vibrations, and it could move any weight." This ancient knowledge of the earth's inhabitants has been rediscovered, Dr. Owen believes, and he is the re-discoverer. He has invented and patented a flying machine, controlled by vibratory action, produced by means of revolving tops on the alren principle, the tops being placed Dr. ORVILLE W. OWEN DR. ORVILLE W. OWEN under metal bells. Once the doctor was near success with the machine, he says, but it went to pieces from the force of its vibrations. Now he is constructing another. His first delay came from the deferred shipment of a consignment of holly from the south. The holly was for the tops and, because no other wood has the requisite cohesive powers, he was obliged to wait until it came before he could begin operations. It arrived after some months on the road. Casting the-metal bells is just now the difficulty. There are to be seven of these, each with a different note, and to get the exact dimensions of the patterns has been a task of great precision. After the patterns were ready, it was found that the molders here were bothered in getting a perfect casting, several efforts in the last two or three days having gone wrong. "After we get the first bell properly cast, there will be no further difficulty," the doctor sald. "We can build the rest of the machine easily and will soon have it ready for flight. Then I will show the students of aeronautics that they have all been on the wrong track. Man cannot fly by balloons or aeroplanes. Their principle is wrong. Vibratory action will enable me not only to fly but to perform the apparent miracles of olden times. With it I will be able to lift any weight. It will revolutionize mechanics." Places of Interest An American actor was once seeing London from the top of a 'bus. As they swung down the Strand he asked the driver to point out the places of interest. "Right you are, sir!" agreed the driver, touching his hat. "There's Luggit 'll, where they 'ang 'em." A little later: "There's parliament 'ouses, where they make the laws wot does it, across the way. An' there's Westminster Habbey, where they buried the good 'uns wot didn't get 'angged!" Sticking to the Truth. "Say," said Farmer Corntossel, "I'd better hurry an' get those circulars of mine, advertising this place free from mosquitoes in the malls. I don't want to lie, but if they don't get malled soon the mosquitoes will be here." REAL ESTATE IN BABYLON. Dickering Was Keen 5,000 Years Ago, Eugene Ware Says. Kansas City, Mo.—That among the ancient Babylonians, 3,000 years B. C., there were lawyers of rare ability, real estate men of more than ordinary shrewdness in driving and clinching a bargain, and craftsmen with great ingenuity and pride in their work, is the opinion of Eugene F. Ware, lawyer, poet and "Kansan." In an address before the real estate men of Kansas City some time ago, Mr. Ware made the statement that as long as 5,000 years ago men were dealing in real estate, and that those men were energetic traders and as keen in their transactions as the real estate dealers of to-day. Mr. Ware explained the result of his research into the history of the Babylonians which has caused him to form this opinion. While travelling in Europe several years ago he came upon a number of clay tablets at the Louvre ```markdown ``` An Ancient Tablet of Babylonia. in Paris. The tablets are specimens uncovered by excavators who were searching for records of the ancient Babylonians. Several thousands of them have been found in the city of Nippur, capital of the ancient Babylonian state of that name. Nippur was one of the largest cities of Babylonia, situated on the banks of a canal connecting the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. The city was famous as the seat of worship of the god Bel, chief deity of the Babylonian pantheon. A tablet owned by Mr. Ware is a replica of one in the Louvre. It resembles nothing so much as a cake of toilet soap. In color it is pure white and is covered with letters of the cuneiform alphabet. The Babylonians used tablets similar to the one owned by Mr. Ware for all their writing, and on these recorded deeds, leases and other real estate transactions. The tablets were made of white clay very much like that used by modern sculptors. They varied in size from specimens as small as a pea to others the size of a bushel basket. They were made by men who probably occupied the same position in the Babylonian business world as our modern stenographers do. A lawyer would go to one of these scriveners on the street corners, dictate his brief to him and the "stenographer in clay" would write on the tablet with a three-cornered stick. The tablet was then baked in a charcoal oven and was ready for use. The writing on the tablets was first translated by Sir Henry Rawlinson in 1554. The tablet owned by Mr. Ware records a transaction between a jeweler and a real estate man. The real estate man purchased a gold ring with an emerald from the jeweler and the tablet records the sale and contains the jeweler's guarantee of the ring for 20 years. PLANS A POLAR CONGRESS. Dr. Nordenskjold Favors Meeting of International Experts. Chicago.—Dr. Otto Nordenskjold, whose project for a polar congress un- DR. XOTTO NORDENSKJOLD der the auspices of an international polar bureau at Brussels is designed to secure from experts a complete statement of all existing knowledge of the polar regions and has awakened keen interest among the scientists of Europe, spent two years in the antarctic polar regions, 1901 to 1903, and has explored Greenland and South America. He is professor of geography in the University of Upsala, Sweden. A nephew of the famous arctic explorer, Baron Adolf E. Nordenskjold, he was made familiar with polar conditions at an early age, and began his South American explorations in 1895, a year after his graduation from the University of Upsala, where he was known as a brilliant student. TO USE A BALLOON BECKER WILL CAMPAIGN WISCONSIN IN AERIAL CRAFT. "Boy Mayor" of Milwaukee Will Keep Up Reputation for Being Old in Race for Governorship of the State. Milwaukee, Wis. — Sherburn M. Becker, the "boy" mayor of Milwaukee, who, having been successful in conducting his campaign for mayor from an automobile, has now decided to enter the race for governorship of Wisconsin, and will use a balloon this time for campaign purposes. Becker was only 29 years of age when elected mayor of Milwaukee two years ago after a whirlwind campaign. His race for governorship promises to be equally sensational. "I shall use either a duplicate of Maj. Hershey's United States, with which the American representative competed in U.S. St. Louis balloon races," said ex-Mayor, Becker in telling of his plan to campaign from an airship, "or I shall buy the United States and recrise it Wisconsin when I start to campaign the state. I am thoroughly in earnest in my plan to run for governor with a balloon instead of a touring car as I at first intended, and I will surprise the farmers, you bet. "You see, it's this way. The people up the state read about my way of doing things, and they simply say: 'He's a crazy fool.' But they are on the watch just the same. Then when I get to them I hand them solid common sense and politics straight without any of the freak about it. "That's the way I am going to make the campaign this year. I will go up in a balloon and light when I feel like it, and it's a cinch that when we get to earth there'll be a crowd there to hear me speak. Then is when I'll get in my real work. They come to see the boy candidate, and they get A. SHERBURN M. BECKER sound common sense. The result is that they think the logic they hear is a heap better than it really is, because they expected something so much different. "Two years ago, when I beat Dave Rose for mayor of Milwaukee, I was called the boy candidate, and even my friends thought I was a fool to enter the race. They first told me I couldn't get the nomination, but I fooled them, and then I won at the election. People came to hear me because my motto was 'The Young Man in Politics.' and they went away having heard nothing more sensational than any other campaigner would give them." That in brief, is the system under which Milwaukee's "Boy Mayor" works his campalens He turned from a cotillon leader to supervisor, and in the county board he exposed a printing graft and saved the county $35,000 a year. He then decided to run for alderman, and his friends laughed at him. He was elected and made such a record that he was able to run for mayor and win that, too. His famous coffee automobile did much to help him in the city campaln. When he was alderman he had one of his automobiles fitted up with a huge coffee pot, which he could start a-bolling when there was a fire, and the coffee would be hot when he reached the scene of the conflagration. Whenever there was a big fire he was notified and a quick hitch harness for a runabout, which he had at first-adopted, was soon supplanted by the automobile. In his city campaign he started a series of smokers, furnishing corncop pipes and tobacco, and when he addressed a meeting he would, instead of standing on the platform, sit among the listeners and talk conversationally. This won votes and he proposes to adopt the same tactics when he runs for governor. At Chicago recently he decided upon the balloon means of reaching the country districts. He met C. A Coey, an enthusiastic automobile and aeronaut, and arranged his plan for a balloon campaign almost instantly. Novelist's Wife—Why does your heroine "enter and sweep the room with a glance?"

Pierpont Morgan has set the good people of the little parish of Churchill, near Worcester, Eng., by the ears, through coveting their 300-year-old chalice, for which he has made a handsome offer. The vicar and churchwardens want to refloor their church, and if they can get the money VAS 300-Year-Old Challice, of Churchill Parish. Mr. Morgan offers for the challice, the work can be done without any call on the parishioners. The proposal has been submitted for the sanction of the chancellor of the diocese, whose decision is awaited. The challice is not of distinguished design. On the contrary it is of precisely the same date and pattern as are the challices of several neighboring churches and many others about the country. It is $5\frac{1}{2}$ inches high, and is made of hammered silver. It has a conventional floral design round the bowl, but its cover, which was originally made so as to be used as a paten, has disappeared. Its hall-mark of 1571 coincides with the year in which Plus V. issued his final Bull excommunicating Queen Elizabeth, and it may be, as there are many challices elsewhere of uniform design, that Queen Ellizabeth, to show her disdain of that Bull ordered generally that these sacred vessels should be of this prescribed pattern. However, this point hever has been settled, and locally there are some who think that it was Pishop Sandys of Worcester and afterward of London, an arbitrary Calvinist, who loved to reduce these things to dull uniformity, who had older challices broken and worked up to this simple design.

Tons of Ores Treated for Two and Half Months in Large Sifting Tanks to Obtain Minimal Fragments of Salts. London.—Physical theories have, in the course of the last few years, undergone something like a revolution, due to the discovery of radiations, given out from certain substances, which radiations, although invisible to the eye, manifest themselves by the most varied effects. The typical representative of these substances is radium, or rather its chemical compounds, as the element itself has not yet been isolated. Owing to the scientific interest attaching to this wonderful substance, and the practical uses it is liable to be put to, especially in medicine, it will not be amiss briefly to record the complicated processes required in its manufacture. Apart from their being some of the most interesting substances known to men, radium salts are the most precious of all chemical compounds, one kilogram of radium bromide being estimated at about $80,000,000. Owing to this extreme costliness, it will be understood that the amount of radium generally handled in laboratories must be rather minute; and, as the effects of radium are of extraordinary intensity, those small quantities are quite sufficient to show any phenomenon hitherto discovered. In order, however, to give an idea of the enormous amount of material required to produce, even such minute quantities as a few milligrams of radium salts, it may be said that whole A Sifting Tanks in a Radium Factory. wagon-loads of diverse ores have to be submitted to a lengthy treatment in order to extract from them some minimal fragments. By discontinuing the various operations at a given stage the activity of the radium salt can be varied at will, according to the special purpose it is intended for, and a whole scale of different intensities can thus be readily produced. At a special radium factory recently installed at Nogent-sur-Marne, the most varied ores are treated, and on their arrival are all taken to the crushers, where is their further treatment varies according to the kind of material. The method described in the following applies more particularly to pitchblend, or rather to pitchblend residues as obtained in the manufacture of uranium—which are the most important of radium-holding materials. The "gross treatment", is carried out in wooden tanks and cast iron tanks provided with stirring devices. Each ton of residue will require five tons of chemicals and 50 tons of rinsing water. As radium sulphate always remains at the bottom of the vessel, it is found there at the conclusion of the different operations (lasting about two and a half months), when one or two kilograms of impure radium bromide will be obtained from each ton of residue. The activity of this radium-holding salt hardly exceeds 50 to 60. Products of higher activity are obtained by "fractionating"—namely, by submitting the mixture of salts to a series of successive crystallizations in pure water, and in water containing some hydrobromic acid. The difference of solubility of the bromides of radium and barium respectively is thus utilized, with a view to separating them from one another. After dissolving the various bromides, the solution is saturated at boiling temperature, and beautiful crystals are obtained on cooling. These crystals possess an activity five times greater than the originally dissolved salts, and by repeating the same operation over and over again, products of ever-increasing activity are obtained. While the first fractional operations are still carried out on a commercial basis, the more minute operations required to treat the products of higher activity are necessarily performed in the laboratory of skilled chemists. At the end of this limited treatment only one to two milligrams of bromide are found to reach from each ton of original real value but this minimal amount shows an activity 2,000,000 times higher than metallic uranium. The most important part of the factory is the laboratory, where chemical analyses and electrolysis tests are carried out, in addition to in mining the activity of each product as well as of the emissions they are produce. The apparatus used in the connection have been designed by the discoverers of radium. Career of Army Officer Recently Named for Promotion. Washington.—The rise of Brig-Gen. Thomas H. Barry, recently nominated as major-general, vice Gen. C. B. Hall, retired for age, has been rapid. Born in New York in October, 1855, he was graduated from the Military academy in June, 1877. After three years' service in the cavalry and 17 years in the infantry he was transferred to the adjutant-general's department with the rank of major in January, 1897, and became colonel in that department in Tomaso T. Gen. Thomas H. Barry. July, 1902, less than six years ago. As a brigadier general of volunteers he served in the Pekin relief expedition and in the Philippines. For those services he was made a brigadier general in the regular army in August, 1903, and now stands fourth in that grade, his seniors belongs Gens. Funston, Carter and Bliss, in the order named. Gen. Barry is now in his fifty-second year, and will not retire until October, 1919. With the exceptions of Gen. Funston, who is his junior by ten years, and Gen. Pershing, who is five years younger, Gen. Barry is the youngest officer of brigade rank in the army. For several months past Gen. Barry has been in command of the army of Cuban pacification, and it is announced that he will remain on that duty in spite of his promotion. GETS IMPORTANT POST. John R. Wise Appointed Superintendent of Chilocco Indian School. Washington.—John R. Wise, for many years a resident of Washington, has been appointed by Secretary Garfield as superintendent of the United States Indian school at Chilocco, Okla. This is one of the largest and most important Indian schools in the northwest. Mr. Wise was graduated from the University of Wisconsin in 1888. He entered the government service in Washington in 1891 in the record and pension office. For over 12 years he was employed in the office of the commissioner of Indian affairs. He was designated by the secretary of the interior in 1895 as manager of the United States Indian congress held in connection with the trans-Mississippi JOHN R. WISE exposition at Omaha. For the last three and a half years Mr. Wise has served as assistant superintendent of the Carlisle Indian school. Why American Gardens Disappoint. The reason why American gardening has not yet come up to the standard of the Europeans is simply that we do not pay enough, says a writer in Country Life in America. We employ incompetent landscape designers or none; we beat the nurseryman down on his plants; we are not willing to pay a first-class gardener what he is worth. Yet we are "dead game" when it comes to yachts, automobiles, horses, dogs and houses. Why should not our wealthy men be equally willing to pay for good gardens? I believe they will. These things are all parts of the same outdoor life. The more self-respect a man has the more he values his family life and the more willing he is to spend as much on his outdoor living room as on one of his indoor rooms. The writer then describes a landscape garden in a Pittsburg back yard which cost about $7,000. The effects are certainly splendid. Her Good Work Recognized. Mrs. W. B.

It is not Major Sylvester's fault that these officers are permitted to Tun over citizens, but the fault of the present police trial board,which ought to be abolished at once. Referring to the case of Captain Lyons again, The Bee regrets that the ex-Register of the Treasury did not think enough of the insult and humihation offered him and his friends to go to the police headquarters and prefer charges against the officers.

THE LIBERIAN ENVOYS. The presence inWashington last week of the three Liberian envoys and their secretaries was some- thing out of the ordinary, even for Washington. The envoys are a very intelligent body of men, well up in diplomacy and state- craft, and made a most favorable impression on both..the President and Secretary Root. These pro- gressive representatives of the black republic are here to endeavor to bring about a closer union with America, and to ‘present the ad- vantages of their country, materi- ally and otherwise, in an effort to induce Negroes of this country to locate there. They, the envoys, tell of the wonderful resources and prospects in Liberia, and are posi- tive that to alt Negroes of this country who will locate there will be assured a bright future.

It is the feeling among churchmen here that the election of the Riglit Rev, Charles Henry Brent as Bishop of Washington, to succeed the late Bishop Henry Yates Satterlee, marks an epoch in the development of the Episcopal Church among the rankk and file of the colred people of this country. The new prelate is not on- ly a man of, lofty Christian charac- ter, deep pitty and strong sense of duty, and possessed of a high de- gree of moral and physical courage, but he bas had vase and varied ex- to the work a broad-gauged sympathy, as well as thorough understanding of the intricate problems invalved when administering to a diocese embracing a large colored population, as is the case in Washington, Bishop-cleet Brent's earliest parish work was at the St, Augustine Mission in Boston, where he achieved a phenomenal suc- cess in bringing the Negro masses into a closer relation with the Epis- copal Church and spread the influ- ence of true Christianity in purlieus that had not known serious mission- ary effort before. His latest and most stupendous undertaking was to minister unto the natives of the Phil- ippine Islands, having been assigned to the Orient in 1gor as a mission- ary bishop of the Philippines. -He has erected state'y temples in the land of the Moros and laid the foun- dation of a Christian civilization through a faithful acknowledgment ‘of the “Fatherhood of God and the {brotherhod of man,” impressing the common salvation of humanity, re- gardless of race or color, This ex- perience, gives Bishop-elect Brent a peculiar fitness for taking hold of the problems that exist in the Dis- trict of Columbia, with its hundred thousand Negro population. He thus knows the Negro and his needs, and the Negro is willing to.trust his in- terests to the hands of a spiritual leader who has shown the breadth of vision and fraternal instinct so mark- ed in the new head of this diocese. Bishop-elect Brent's eection was materially promoted by the advocacy and yotes of the Negro delegates in the diocesan convention. Six col- ored clergymen and two laymen rep- resented the Episcopal churches of the race. They were Revs. T. J. Brown, of St.,Luke’s; O. L. Mitch- jell, of St. Mary's; W. V. Tunnel, warden of King Hall, Howard Uni- versity; F. I. A. Bennett, of St. Mat- thew’s; J, C. Van Lee, of ‘St. Moni- ca’s, and A. W. F. Collier, of St. Luke's. The laymen, Dr. I."C.-Nor- wood and J. O. Bampfield, came from St. Luke's, the single independent parish in the District, Rector T. J. Brown is especig‘ly anxious that Bishop Brent accept the assignment, saying that he regards the appoint- ment as Providential, and feeling '|that the new prelate is divinely or- dained for the solution of the diffi- | culties that so sorely encompass the |race in this country in the present \ crisis. In his opinion, the new du- |ties offered to theBishop of thePhil- |ippines’ are more essential to the | peace, prosperity and happiness of our country than those he must ‘lay '|down, though not disposed to mini- '| mize the needs of the Filipinos. The ‘| entire ten million Negroes in the Jand |are deeply concerned in the coming of the new prelate, and all are anx- Jious that he accept the trust and de- | velop in this social cosmopolis a Jbranch of the Episcopal Church so Jbroad in Christian brotherhood and | So faithful to the preachments of the Master that it shall stand as a model for every diocese in the land where :| there are variations in race and col- 1} or. - 1] The swinging of the solid vote of ,jthe Negro delegates of the conven: .|tion to Bishop Brent from the out "| set is due in the largest measure tc ,|the prompt and far-sighted prgency _jof Rector T.

He regards the elevation o! | Bishop Brent as the beginning of ; tlnew era for colored Episcopalian issn al! over the land, and that th new prelate will be especially wel come in this diocese, as his coming will solve some problems that hav -|Iong stood in teh way of the progres to which the Church is entitled in ; massive population like ours.

Among them might be mentioned J. E. Bush, Dr. E. C. Morris and Scipio A. Jones, of Arkansas; Nathan H. Alexander and Dr. U. G, Mason; T. L. Grant, Gen. Robett Smalls and E. H. Deas, of South Carotina; ex-Grand Master J. McHenry Jones, Charles E.Mitch- ell, T. N. Norris, W. J. Thompson and A, L. Calhoun, of West Virgin- ia; E, W. Lane, oft Kentucky; J. E. Lee, of Florida; Charles Banks, W. E. Mollison, Wesley Crayton and T. V. McAllister, of Mississippi; Wal- ter L. Cohen and A, B. Kennedy, of Louisiana, and many others of like prominence in the councils of the Republican party. . Announcement is made that Vice President Fairbanks is to remain in the presidential race until the bal- loting begins. He may not secure the nomination, although he has a host of admirers among every cement of the party who would prefer hint un- der circumstances different from the ones which confront the country, at this time. Nevertheless, his brilliant qualifications will not be lost to pub- lic life. His future is assured. If he will not agree to accept a renom- ination as vice president — as de- sired by the party at large — it is likely that he will be asked to head the Cabinet table of President Taft as Secretary of State. His persona! bent, admirable tact and wide ex- perience in diplomatic matters fit him superbly for such an assignment. In any event, the popular Vice Presi- dent will not be retired to private life. A grateful and ably-served na- When Negro journals of recogniz~ ed standing and admitted national influence rally to the support of Sec- retary Taft it shows the utter ab- surdity of the statement of the radi- cals that “ninety-nine percent of the coiored voters of the land are op- posed to the nomination of the Ohi- oan and will swing the pivotal States against him in November.” Some of the leading race papers giving loy- al support to Judge Taft, or making it plain that they will cheerfully ac- cept the nominee of the Chicago con- vention, are: The New York Age; the Advocate, Charleston, W. Va.3 Fair’ Pfay, Parkersburg, W. Va.; the Journal, Cleveland, Ohio; the Free~ man, Indianapolis, Ind.; the Conser- ator, Chicago, Ill.; the Gazette,Bux- ton, Iowa; the Enterprise, Omaha, Neb.; the Plaindealer, Topeka, Kan- sas; the Mosaic Guide, Little Rock, Ark; the Florida Sentinel, Pensacola, Fla.; the Tribune, Savannah, Ga.; the Standard, Lexington, Ky.; the Star, Newport News, Va.; the Echo, Long Branch, N. J.; the Weekly Press, Mobile, Ala.; the American Citizen, Atlanta, Ga}; the Texas Freeman, Houston, Texas; Western Enterprise, Colorado Springs, Col.; the Rising Sun, Kansas City, Mo.; the Argus, Cincinnati, Ohio; the Odd Felows Journal, Philadelphia, Pa.; the Southern Reporter, Charles- ‘ton, S. C.; the Forum, Springfield, Ill. the People's Recorder, Orange- burg, S. C.; the Reporter, Birming- ham, Ala.; the Appreciator, Fort Smith, Ark.; and the Watchman, Austin, Texas. It will be noticed that every section is ably represent- ed, and that few, if any, of the edi- tors of the papers are officeholders. Such spontaneity of opinion in favor of Secretary Taft can be accounted for upon no other ground than that of sound common sense and a recog: nition of the fact that to his success the race must look, for its highest opportunities, As the day of the convention draw: nigh it is gratifying to note the gen Te mR acc Re aed E Roscoe Conkling Bruce nois, Rhode Island and other States have filed protests against all forms of discrimination practiced by the Bourbon South, and it is not doubted that the same influences that wrote the plain-spoken suffrage plank in Ohio and other States will see to it that the Chicago Convention goes on record in the same unequivocal fash- ion. Press agents may write glow- ingly of this candidate or that, but the fact rémains that, the sensible Negroes are going to stand, by the man who is the choice of the coun- try, and place themselves in a posi- tion, -based on color, creed or condi- tion whereby they will have a claim upon him when they come forward to ask consideration for the race. The Republican nominee wi'l stand upon a platform condemning every form of civil and political proscrip- tion. ‘The Democratic party,to which certain sensational agitators advise the Negro to bolt, dare not hope for success save through fraud practiced against the race in every known form. It is not difficult for the thinking Negro to choose today whom he will serve. s The Washington Star, the clearest visioned Caucasian journal at the Capital, strikes 4 keynote in discuss- ing the attitude of the Negro toward Judge Taft. The Star says: “A confident contention of the op- ponents of Judge Taft is that his nomination would cost the -Republi- cans the bulk of the Negro vote north of the Mason and Dixon's Line. Nothing, it js asserted, will wipe out or even modify the effect of Brownsville on the colored peo: ple. They have Judge Taft associat- ed with the President in the dismis- sal of the Negro battalion, and only await an opportunity to show thei feelings at the polls. . . Some of the ablest colored leaders have advised them, in case of Judge Taft’: nomination, either to take to the woods or vote the Democratic ticket But will this advice continue afte: Chicago? And if it does, will i affect a large number of voters wher polling day arrives?” The Star, after asking these lead ing questions, goes on to argue: “The intelligent Negro whose vot is received and counted understand that the contest for control is be tween the Republican party and thi | Democratic party. One or the othe | will win in November. No othe | party will have a ghost of a chance | If, therefore, the Negro takes to th | woods he will aid the Democracy | If he votes the Democratic ticket bh | wil aid it all the more. Will b {aid it at all? It is a hundred to on that were Mr. Bryan a member o jthe Senate he would support th | President in theBrownsville busines: | As the leader of his party he en -|dorses the disfranchisements of th )| South, and is willing to accept th )| unconstitutional electoral votes thos ,| measures have produced. He i | against the enforcement of the Cox -| stitution on that subject. How the .| would the Negro be benefited by hely s|ing to bring Mr. Bryan inte power | What would, what could Mr. Brya }]do for him in returm for his suf -|port? In effect, thegfore, the proj sition is that if Judge Taft is son flinated the Negroes should vote {c i) revenge for the other man. Will tim .| got moHl#fy the contending elessents -1 The campaign will lest three menth and appeals for revenge are hard to sustain as against argument. Be- sides, the discharged Negro soldiers may meanwhile ‘have been re-ervist- ed, and the Chicago platform may echo the Ohio platform upon which Judge Taft is now standing.” 4s a parting shot, The Star clinch- €s its unanswerable statement of the situation by this warning: “Do not count the Negroes against Taft at the polls until they have’ so recorded themselves.” PARAGRAPHIC NEWS.

As The Bee predicted, they received the greatest ovation at this church of any church in which they have appeared. The Metropolitan Church is the largest in he city; its seating capacity is twenty-five hundred. The address of Miss Mabel Whitman, the manager, was terse, eloquent, and pathetic. She related incidents of her childhood, and the admonition her father gave the girls before his death, and how they have struggled to maintain their honor and reputation. The vast audience that cheered this address war an evidence of the esteem and appreciation in which this community holds these young ladies. They are meeting with success wherever they appear, and those who have not heard them should not fail to do so at the first opportunity. See list of engagements. GALBRAITH CHURCH.

Corrothers to the bishopric. Rev. Corrothers will occupy his pulpit morning and evening. The public in general is invited. VALUABLE TIME LOST. The principal and teachers of the M-Street High School lose much valuable time in keeping tally of the work of the graded schools and not doing their own. Their failure in the doing of their own work they attribute to the graded school —even that of Latin,which is not taught there. Put this lost time to better use and we will have better results in this school. The graded school work is well done.

The present President is trying to uplift the land. He is a very wealthy man, and receives $25,000 in gold per annum. Many who have the best advantage of understanding the great doctrine of brotherhood of man and Fatherhood of God are not inclined to recognize as their brother those who have less of the world's goods than themselves. A great many people in Washington labor under the impression that the clothes make the man. There are lots walking the streets right now finely dressed, if they had their just dues they would be behind the bars. (Now, ain't this true?) At the General Conference of the A. M. E. Church, held last week at Norfolk, Va., Revs. E. W. Lampton, H. B. Parks, J. S. Flipper, J. A. Johnson, W. H. Heard were ordained bishops. Relative to the strike in Cleveland, Ohio, if these were colored people, the general, Government would have stepped in and ended the same. (Yet the Negro is the bad man.) Some of the Senators think the President unfit to judge the Brownsville matter. Moral: A judge who expressed his opinion on a case he has to preside over is, in our opinion, unfit to try the case. P.

This is gratifying and proper: these people are no fakes, but strong, intelligent, Christian people from one of the Negro families in the South, and their plays and renditions have never been surpassed in Chicago. They give more than the worth of the auditor's money in any performance. The Conservator is proud that the good, appreciative people of Chicago are so liberally encouraging this excellent family of talent and push. The Whitman Sisters move on merit and not in cheap gush. While we know these sweet sisters are not struck on The Conservator because we misplaced the picture of one of them, as they thought, in our columns, we know the family and want to see them succeed even if they do not understand us.

It tapers off the bust, flattens the abdomen, and absolutely reduces the hips from 1 to 5 inches. Not a harness—not a cumbersome affair, no torturing straps, but the most scientific example of corsetry, boned in such a manner as to give the weare absolute freedom of movement.

One and one-half cups milk, two level tablespoons sugar, rind one-half lemon, one-half bay leaf, one level tablespoon granulated gelatin, one-fourth cup water, yolks two eggs. Scald the milk with the sugar, lemon tind, and bay leaf, then add the gelatin seaked in the water for 20 minutes. Stir until dissolved and strain the hot mixture gradually onto the egg yolks slightly beaten. Return to double boiler and stir until thickened. Remove from fire and color one-half of the mixture either pink or green, and turn each half into a shallow pan wet with cold water. When cell cut in squares or oblons. Line a mold with lemon jelly and garnish with the colored pieces. Add the remaining jelly. Fill thoroughly, and serve on a plate with whipped cream. Carmished with whipped cream Left over jelly can be melted and a bit of wafer added, and if there is not enough to remold beat it with an egg beater until light and spongy and stiff enough to hold its shape, then fold in some fruit or nut meats and turn into a mold. This will increase the quantity and give an entirely different dessert with very little preparation. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. Hot milk is even better than boiling water for removing most stains. Books keep better when exposed to the air than when shut up in a bookcase. Pearl knife handles should be cleaned with a rag dipped in fine salt, then polished with a leather. To clean a spice mill grind two tablespoonfuls of rice through the mill and all traces of the spice will be removed. Sprinkle salt or cloves on the shelves of pantries where ants are troublesome, for both are objectionable to these insects. Paint stains on floors may be scoured off by soaking them for a little while in turpentine or benzine and then rubbing them with pumice stone or glass paper. To remove feathers from one pillow to another, take a tin can with both ends melted out (or, better still, make a large pasteboard tube), tie or sew firmly an end in each pillow and shake feathers through. Steep some tea leaves in water for an hour, then strain them out, and use the liquid for washing the varnished wood. This decoction gives the woodwork a cleaner, fresher look than when washed with only soap and water. Rose Salad. Wash and dry thoroughly white leaves of head lettuce. Cut nicely washed celery into one inch strips. Tempo I. poco rit. sempre. pp morendo. Jan's Lullaby. 2 pp—2d p. put into cold water. After an hour the celery will have curled nicely. Put whole red tomatoes into boiling water for four minutes. Take out of water and from under side cut out a half inch square. Remove all the pulp of the square except one sixteenth of an inch near the skin. After cooking fill the square with the dressing given above. From the stem to the under part of the tomato cut skin in rescue leaf shape and crinkle it. Arrange each salad dish with g.. slices of lettuce leaves, then a circle of the curled celery, then the tomato. On top of the tomato sprinkle a teaspoonful of blanched pecan nuts, chopped almost to a powder, to represent the pollen of the rose Queen Soup. Take one and one-half pints of chicken stock previously boiled and all fat removed. Set on back of range and season to taste using pepper, a dash of celery salt and paprika. Beat one egg to foam, add one teaspoonful of flour, blend thoroughly. Just about ten minutes before serving add to stock, bring slowly to boiling point, but do not let boll, as it will curdle. When all ready to serve add cupful of minced chicken, one teaspoonful of minced parsley and one cupful of stiffly whipped cream. This serves six persons. To Cook Asparagus. Asparagus should be boiled standing end upward in a deep saucepan; nearly two inches of the heads should be out of the water, the steam being sufficient to cook them, as they form the tenderest part of the plant. The hard, stalky part is rendered soft and delicious by the longer boiling which this plan permits. Cooking 30 or 40 minutes on the plan recommended will render a third more of the stalk delicious, while the head will be properly cooked by the steam alone. Savory Potatoes. Peel and slice sufficient potatoes to make a plint. Place in a buttered baking dish, pour over them one egg beat en in one-half cup of milk. Sprinkle with pepper and little salt. Cover and bake 20 minutes, uncover and let brown. We are very fond of these, and they are a change from the boiled potatoes. Relief to Burns. If you are unfortunate enough to get boiling hot water over yourself, take some eggs and whip the yolks and whites together. Then smear them evenly on the burns. The pain soon ceases and you will have no scars afterwards. Good Flour Gems. One egg, three tablespoonfuls of sugar, one cupful of sweet milk, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, a pinch of salt, and flour enough to make a batter that will readily drop from the spoon. Bake 15 minutes. FACTORY PRICES We furnish the highest grade bicycles it is possible to make at one small profit above actual factory cost.

Comparing the table linen of today with that of ten or {2 y-ais ago, there is a marked improvemeat in design. For years we have had very fine linens in our shops, and there have been many beautiful designs, but not with- in the reach of the moderate purse. So much progress has been made by man- ufacturers that now prices are lower and designs are better. Of course there are certain pattern cloths of for- eign make that can never be cheap. It is the linens of medium quality, weight and price, but of fine design, that will ‘appeal to the average housekeeper. Some think that the linen made in Irv Jand has taken the place of that manu factured in other countries. It is gcol, cheap and often very handsame, and will last for many years, provided, of course, it fs not ruined by chemicals in laundering. Designs in all household linens are steadily gaining In artistic merit. The old-time cloth that swept the floor is no longer in fashion, The best style table linen for 2 luncheon is a center-piece and indi. vidual doilies to match. There are. however, beautiful covers, made es pecially for luncheons, but a regular dinner cloth, no matter how simple or magnificent, should never be used. The centerpicce is only large enough tc cover the middle of the table, and the dollies come in different sizes. There are those for plates, two sizes for gob lets, those for water and wine, others for different dishes, and still others fo1 the finger Lowls. Linen sets with scal loped edses are very dufable and prac ticdl, Filet lace is handsome, but ex pensive. The lece is jolned with fine linen squares, in long..bands or circu lar.

Some beautiful towels with borders of Fayal lace were recently see.. The purchaser only raid $1.50 aplece for the towels at Fayal. | .A well-known authority says that ‘table linen should never be starched. [It fs a commoa mistaxe that many housekeepers make, and nothing so de- tracts from the appearance and life of handsome linen as starch. “Elbow grease” is all that one needs to make the proper kind of linen stiff. It should be ironed damp, to get the fine sheen so characteristic of well-laundered linen. If it is ironed when it is dry, or nearly so, it gets fuzzy. Always darn table damask, as well as various \ther materials, with a raveling from the cloth. If there is a hole, put under it a plece of the same damask, matching the pattern as near as possible, Then darn very carefully backward and forward with the ravel- ing. If the work is done right, the | darn will hardly be noticed after laun- | dering. Try Larding Lean and Dry Meat. Larding Is quite easy—it only re- quires care and accuracy. It simply needs a larding-needle and some neatly and evenly-cut strips of fat, bacon or pork, which are used exactly as if they were pieces of wool or thread, one large stitch beng taken through the meat and the short ends of the fat left sticking out. The strips are called lardons. The fat bacon or pork to be used in the process should be kept in a cold place. Use that part of the pork which Hes between the rind and the veln, Lean and dry meat and some kinds of game are much im- prosed by larding.—The Delineator.

LYONS, AND THREE FRIENDS TO STA- TION. Charges Them with Ioitering on the Street,but Cases Are Nolle Prossed with Pugh's Consent. Judson W. Lyons, former Register of the Treasury, who was arrested, with three of his colored friends. Saturday afternoon for obstructing the sidewalk at Fourteenth and Pierce streets, and who was taken to the police station in a parcel wagon, appeared at Police Court yesterday with witnesses. A satisfactory explanation of the affair was made to Prosecuting Attorney James Pugh, who agreed to a nolle pros. Lvons was discussing politics with his old political ally, Haslen Cashin, of Alabama, a delegate to the Chicago Convention. Charles Cashin, a Howard graduate, and James Williams, a Negro local politician, also were in the group. While they were talking over the presidential outlook Polleman Watts passed along and J.C. ordered them to clear the sidewalk. Lyons and his friends became angry, and the policeman alleges their language toward him was abusive. Writts gave the incident a sudden and rather unexpected climax by marching the quartet to the patrol box. Meanwhile, R. L. Waring, a special policeman, strolled up, and, recognizing Lyons, pleaded that a mistake had been made. Watts replied that he was on his way to the station, and he proposed to reach there. The heated interchanges between the policeman and his four prisoners attracted a hundred or more pedestrians, some of whom were clerks in the Treasury and had worked under Mr. Lyons. Some in the crowd were Negroes, and they made the situation extremely unpleasant for the officer. At the station house no formal charge was placed against the men. They were released by Capt. R. B. Doyle and requested to appear at the office of Mr. Pugh. A few minutes after their entrance to the station a crowd surged about the building. Only a few persons, among them several Government clerks and personal friends of Lyons, were permitted to enter. After conferences with the captain everything was smoothed over, the captain stating it was a matter of regret that such action had to be taken. "Policeman Wafts has a good record." said Captain Doyle, "and I am inclined to think he acted with good judgment. Of course, Lyons and his friends deny loitering. But the statements of the officer and several witnesses were made regarding the affair, and apparently the officer was not too hasty." Speaker Cannon, by request, introduced a bi'l in the House of Representatives last Monday to prohibit unauthorized persons in the District of Columbia wearing the insignia of the Elks. A fine of twenty dollars is provided. (Now will you be good!) In the last seventeen years over 23,000 people have been killed in the mines.

Ottawa, Ont.—Civilization will again reach out a long steel arm of railway to snatch from the Indian and trapper a huge chunk of the wilderness. The dominion house of commons has voted approval to a project to build a line to Fort Churchill on the westward of the Hudson bay. This marks the beginning of the end of the Hudson Bay Company's rule of the northwest territories, a monopoly which the fur traders have held since 1656. Sufficient funds for the project will at once be appropriated, in spite of the opposition of the Hudson Bay Company. Its completion means speedy access to all to the furred riches of the frozen north and a new out- PORT CHURCHILL HUDSON BAY LAKE WADNIPES L. SUPERIOR DULUTH ST.

Fort Churchill is one of the few trading posts still maintained and governed by the fur monopoly. It is situated at the mouth of the Churchill river, where the canoes of the trappers from the inland lakes slip silently down each spring to exchange their cargoes of pelts for the coln and rum of his majesty's servants. It is 900 miles north of Duluth and 400 miles from the nearest railroad station. Water connections by means of the river and a score of inland lakes make the fort the key to the commerce of the provinces of Kunwatlin, Saskatchewan, Athabasca and Northwest Alberta. From Fort Churchill large canoes and small steamers can go 800 miles into the interior. The country is the home of the musk ox, the polar bear, the walrus, the brown bear, the caribou and moose. It is one of the richest game countries in the world. TO REPORT ON ALASKAN COAL. Wallace Atwood, Going to Territory for Government. Washington.—Wallace W. Atwood, who has been appointed to estimate the value of coal in Alaska and report on the best site for a coaling station WALLACE W. ATWOOD In the territory, for the United States geological survey, is an instructor in geology and physiography in the University of Chicago. He spent two years investigating the mineral deposits and mines of Alaska. Mr. Atwood was graduated from the University of Chicago in 1897 and has held positions in the United States geological survey and the state geological surveys of New Jersey, Wisconsin and Illinois.
